Imagine this scenario....... ...........
You are driving along in your two seater car on a wild stormy night. It's raining heavily and when you suddenly pass by a bus stop, you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is just about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect soul-mate you have been dreaming about all your life.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading...
............

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job interview.
* You could pick up the old lady and take her to the hospital to save her life since this is the humane thing to do.
* Or you could choose the old friend because he once saved your life and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect soulmate ever again.
The candidate who was hired {out of 200 applicants} had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what his answer was?

He simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the perfect soul-mate of my dreams."
Sometimes we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn egocentric thoughts . Always remember to "Think Outside The Box."
So what was your answer?????
